[{"type":"text","content":"Murchison Minerals Discovers New Zinc Mineralization 300 Metres South Of Brabant-Mckenzie VMS DepositTORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / September 30, 2019 / Murchison Minerals Ltd. (\"Murchison\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:MUR) is pleased to announce the discovery of massive sulphide-type zinc mineralization (Table 1 and Figure 1) on strike of the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit. Using Instrumentation GDD Inc.'s Beep Mat technology, a weak sub-surface response was detected, unearthed and sampled with a backpack drill. This discovery has been named Brabant-McKenzie South and is located immediately south of the Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit, lying approximately 300 metres from the nearest blocks in the Inferred Resource category.Table 1 - Drill core sample geochemistry resultsDrill hole IDFrom (m)To (m)Length (m)Ag (g/t)Cu (%)Zn (%)Au (ppb)DDHBM19-0020.000.530.535.10.020.3215 0.531.180.659.20.086.1027 1.181.850.6725.30.206.3432 1.852.500.657.90.032.861770 2.502.850.3510.60.031.152370 2.853.350.505.20.074.286 3.353.750.401.20.030.788Total / average 3.7510.00.073.49542The backpack drill hole location and related geophysical data is presented in Figure 2. The image includes the Maxwell plate derived from an earlier ground Time Domain Electromagnetic survey (TDEM), the showing located at the site of the backpack drill hole and a proposed diamond drill hole. The coincident magnetic trend can be traced northward to the Brabant-McKenzie deposit (Figures 2 & 3). The large Maxwell plate derived from the ground geophysical survey has a low conductivity-thickness (CT) of 9.3 Siemens, which can be consistent with the characteristically non-conductive sphalerite mineralization.Mr. Jean‐Charles Potvin, President and CEO stated, \"We are very excited about this discovery, as it has the potential to add significant tonnage, especially if both Upper and Lower mineralized zones making up the Brabant-McKenzie deposit continue southward.\"Figure 1: Sphalerite-bearing backpack drill core.Figure 2: Map showing location of backpack drill hole and Brabant-McKenzie VMS deposit.Figure 3: Maxwell plate derived from the ground geophysical survey has a low CT and a location of a proposed diamond drill hole collar location.Qualifying StatementThe foregoing scientific and technical disclosures have been reviewed by Ehsan Salmabadi, P.
